Drain & Sewer Line Solutions for Gwinnett County & Surrounding Areas

A drain that clears and re-clogs within weeks is not a maintenance problem; it is a diagnostic one. Most residential drains share a common main sewer line, and when that line has a belly, a root intrusion, or joint separation, clearing the individual fixture does nothing to address the actual cause of the blockage.

Upshaw Plumbing Service, Inc. has served Flowery Branch and the surrounding areas since 2010, handling everything from single slow fixtures to full sewer line replacement. We use high-definition video cameras to inspect and diagnose conditions before recommending any repair. Plus, all pricing is provided in writing before work begins.

Video inspection can help us get to the bottom of your issue. Call us at (770) 285-1887 for drain cleaning services in Flowery Branch, GA.

What a Camera from Upshaw Plumbing Can Tell You

Before video technology became standard, finding a sewer collapse or root mass deep underground often meant digging in several locations, each imprecise. Today, the process is much cleaner and more predictable. 

In Flowery Branch’s established neighborhoods, older clay and cast-iron pipes are common. We identify these materials because their joints are much more susceptible to root damage than modern, root-resistant PVC. 

During a camera inspection, our cameras travel the full length of the line to provide a live feed of every joint and any debris that has worked its way inside. We use a locator signal from the camera to mark the exact above-ground spot of the issue. This allows us to provide an accurate recommendation for a targeted spot repair or a full line replacement without any guesswork.

Hydro-Jetting vs. Standard Snaking

Standard drain snaking is designed to break through a blockage and clear a path for water to flow. In contrast, hydro-jetting cleans the pipe walls themselves by removing grease buildup, sediment, and biological matter that a snake typically passes through without removing. For drains that clear temporarily but re-clog quickly, hydro-jetting addresses the sticky residue responsible for that frustrating pattern.

The right method depends entirely on what our camera inspection reveals. Fragile or deteriorated pipe walls are not suitable candidates for high-pressure hydro-jetting, and Upshaw Plumbing will not recommend the service in those situations. However, for structurally sound lines with heavy accumulation, this method provides a much more thorough and longer-lasting result than repeated mechanical clearing.
